CASSANDRA BATES

THE DOWNSIDE OF staying at someone’s place meant tolerating any visitors she brought to crash for the night.

And while I loved my roommate, God bless her, hearing her all night getting pummeled over and over by some guy she picked from the bar was something I couldn’t endure for another night.

The thought of moving out crossed my mind but then again, the high rent New York had to offer for a single apartment discouraged me against doing so.

“I’m so sorry for last night girl”, Anna slumped in the seat opposite her kitchen island.

“No, it’s fine. It’s totally fine. It’s your place bring anyone you want over”, I said working my way through the Avo toast that was already in my hands.

Anna, blonde and pretty even with her morning hair all over the place reached out for my hand stilling my actions.

“We’ve known each other since high school Cass, you do know you don’t have to feel guilty for anything right? Mi casa is also your casa”

Pretty sure the expression didn’t go that

    JACE ‘JR’ ASHER/ TRIGGERMY HAND IN HER PANTIES, exploring her slick folds, my eyes found hers in the neon bullshit lighting in the pub.Dark orbs met mine, hungry, visceral, all the shit that made a man like me go savage. And Lucia knew how to stir the pot because her tongue darted out of her mouth wetting her pinkish lips.That was enough for me to say ‘fuck it’ and give it a go. One hand caressing her slippery slit, the other hand found her waist and as delicate as a man like me could, I hauled her to my chest, angling for a better position and when I did the rest was fucking history.I hadn’t felt this nice since—since I got accepted into B&A and still the feeling wouldn’t amount to this.Getting a gun and using it was a good kind of high, sure. Going on deadly missions that helped people was okayish, fuck better than okayish.This…This however was the stuff of fairy tales, stuff that seeped into your heart plunging you into a rainbow-colored world and that should have been the

    CASSANDRA BATESEVER BEEN KISSED like…well I don’t know like you were the most freaking important being in the world?I had been kissed by a lot of guys, no question about that and the only guy who’d come close to making me shiver from a mere kiss was JACE BUT KADE?He redefined what a kiss stood from the minute his tongue plunged into my mouth impatiently giving me a glimpse of him and trust me, the dude tasted like he looked. So strong and so intoxicatingly bad.Bad in a good sort of way. Bad in the sense of ‘you kissed him, that’s bad’ but good you know? God what was I even saying?Hand on my chin, the other hand nervously tapping my skirt, I gazed out the window trying to make my heart at least beat rhythmically.The action failed when Kade’s big hand squeezed my thigh and a lot ooh a lot of ticklish prickles shot up my leg to my core and I knew i needed a fresh pair of panties because the ones I was wearing were soaked like a chicken crossing the road on a rainy night.“Talk to m

    JACE ‘JR’ ASHER/ TRIGGERLEGS APART, her pink lips so close to my face I could smell her, I buried myself in her like a crazy man.Lucia Amato’s pussy might have been my kryptonite. Four or five doses later and I was still as entranced as the first time we had sex. The best fucking sex I had ever had in all my twenty something years.“J—Jace, they’ll…they’ll hear us”, she complained.Her lips might have been trying to resist me but her pussy, God it throbbed, it called to me and like a fucking sailor I heeded to the call of my siren because she was my goddamn siren that I’d never let go of no matter what fucking happened.Giving that intimate place of hers that belonged to my lips, I hoisted myself up crawling between her legs and up, up where I could see her beautiful face.My beautiful fucking Italian princess.God, I loved her.“You scared someone will pop in and see me in you?” I asked cockily, she rolled her eyes before her hand landed on my cheek.“Jace, Misha and Jason might su

    CASSANDRA BATESSEX WAS EARTH-SHATTERING. BUT SEX with Kade was out of this world.I didn’t know why I had delayed the inevitable with him. Because the feel of him in me, slamming into me had turned me into a needy bitch and Kade enjoyed the fuck out of teasing me and tormenting me.I had never begged for dick like I did ice-cream. Decades later, I would bark like a dog just to have Kade slamming me into the bed over and over again till orgasm after orgasm hit me like a freight train.Three weeks ago, we’d had sex in his office. Me filthily bent over his desk, him taking me from behind without a damn care that he had a meeting due in five minutes.I had felt guilty lying to my friends slash coworkers so I told them the truth. That me and Kade were a thing. Adam looked SO disappointed it almost ate me up for not telling him sooner.Kade proposed a week later with the biggest diamond ring a girl like me only saw in dreams after he had rented a seafood restaurant all to ourselves. I said

Okay? S-stay with me”My voice croaked; my heart pumped so hard I could hear the blood thrum in my ears with an uproar.She was making it. She was going to make it. The baby was going to make it.She had to. They fucking had to.My hands were bloody, covered with her life, covered with my mistakes, when she opened her lips to speak, I saw life ebb out of her the same way my mother and father’s screams had assaulted my ears as fire took them away from me.“Luce? Lucia? Come on, baby. Don’t, don’t do this. Don’t—”And when my eyes couldn’t see shit, every noise I had tuned out since Lucia’s body went limp in my arms ca

Fucking stupid.Why hadn’t I realized, why hadn’t I—Jr was alive! They all were and I hadn’t searched enough, hadn’t spent every last dime of daddy’s money to look for them.I had been stunned the minute the forty something year old man stared at me like he knew me while ironically aiming a rifle in my damn face.Then as if all the memories that had been caged in a tight little box had been unleashed, I remembered him.Remembered him with my father.Remembered him carrying me in his shoulders telling me…telling me to call him Uncle Jay.And that’s what I remembered; he was Uncle Jay. The cool uncle. The one who pissed my fath—Callan most of the times.And the man who peeked at me

    CASSANDRA BATESTHREE WEEKS OF INCONSISTENT NAGGING.I was so mad at him, I wanted to kick him in the shins for everything. But hurting him was hurting myself too and I wasn’t prepared for that.The first week Kade had made it clear no woman of his was staying in a walk-in closet carrying his kid and so he’d rented a luxurious penthouse for me.I took it under the one condition I would be paying rent monthly. That was my first mistake, assuming he would even take my money after the lustful and apologetic look he gave me when he left me in my new apartment.The second week was even more stressful. With him showing up at my apartment door with breakfast and baby necessities I didn’t require yet.The third week…Icarus woke up and I had been beyond thrilled knowing I hadn’t somewhat killed him. I visited him everyday and everyday Kade Hawkins was there, waiting for me with a grin and donuts and healthy drinks I hadn’t asked for and I rejected them.Rejected him. Not missing the pained ex

    LUCIA AMATOTHEY said when your turn to die came, you could feel it in your bones. Feel it in the way you faded into nothingness not knowing what was beyond death.When that bullet had hit me, somehow that feeling had latched onto me. The feeling of welcoming death and saying goodbye to everything.Yet when I opened my eyes, light stinging my eyes with a vengeance, the last person I expected to see was the love of my life glancing down at me like an answered prayer.“Hey, princess” The smile he wore was enough to tell me everything was okay. I wasn’t dead. We weren’t separated, everything was going to be okay yet…My hand searched for my tummy, the IV needle injected to my hand hurting far worse than a bee sting.“Hey, hey, he’s fine. The baby’s fine”I didn’t realize there were tears in my eyes up until he said that.And when the first tear fell down my cheeks and the rest came crushing like hail, my throat throbbed as I whispered “Sorry” over and over again.I jumped in front of hi

Regretfully telling me she was done with me…for good.And that shit, her tears, her words ate me up, nothing bloody made sense anymore.“She needs a minute”, my brother from another father quipped beside me not knowing the hell I was going through, the sting that was Cassie’s words and the gnawing fact that I had hurt her and I hadn’t apologized to her yet.“She’s done with me”, I muttered and we stood in foreboding silence looking at the theatre doors where Ice’s surgery was still going on.“Good because her handing your ass is your wake-up call to chase after her and earn her forgiveness”, Jr continued, I still couldn’t understand why they all stayed.Jaso

Indeed, going mad.“Everything looks fine, Ms. Bates given your um…earlier predicament. A few scratches here and there, nothing major enough to affect the baby.
